The Niantic Wayfarer App enables Niantic Lightship Developers to create scans that contribute to Niantic's worldwide Visual Positioning System (VPS). Developers of the Lightship platform can use the app to create Private VPS Locations which are useful for rapidly testing their apps in development. Users may also contribute scans of real-world locations directly to Niantic's 3D map of the world, which may be used by other Lightship Developers.
